[PATCH 1/1] arm/stacktrace: stop unwinding after an invalid address.

[Maninder Singh]

This patch stops unwinding backtrace in case of below 2 cases.

(Issue observed while porting stackdepot on ARM, duplicate
entries created in stackdepot
reference patch for workaround in stackdepot:-
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/10/11/353
).

1. If address belongs to irq/exception code, ignore it.
save_stack+0x40/0xec
 __set_page_owner+0x2c/0x64
....
....
 __handle_domain_irq+0x9c/0x130
 gic_handle_irq+0x40/0x80
 __irq_usr+0x4c/0x60
 0xb6507818
^^^^^^^

2. If address belongs to junk entry, ignore it
 kmem_cache_alloc_trace+0x1e8/0x21c
 rb_allocate_cpu_buffer+0xf0/0x25c
 __ring_buffer_alloc+0xf8/0x1e0
 trace_init+0xe0/0x2cc
 start_kernel+0x30c/0x448
 0x400080a0
^^^^^^^
